Could not be any happier with this rifle. Shot 3 shot groups with all bullet holes touching while sighting in. Recoil is reduced considerably with the Hogue stock. Trigger is excellent as well. Now on to the scope. For the money I wasn't expecting a lot from the scope but have to say it is much much better than I expected. The Illuminated reticle works great and has multiple adjustments including 2 different colors. Gathers light very good with a clear image at dusk. This package is a great deal. The only negative is the rings that came with it. I replaced them with weaver rings but that isn't worth worrying about. Overall a 5 star value and comparable to a much more expensive package. I plan to buy another one for my next purchase. Buds did everything exactly as they said and kept communication coming up until delivery. A+

About a year ago, I was looking for a bolt action rifle to complement my .308 and .223/5.56 guns. I wanted a "value weapon", and after seeing this combination and researching the Howa online, I ordered one. I chose the 30-06 chamber to provide more flexibility if NATO ammo becomes scarce again.

The Howa is a very easy rifle to like. Well balanced weight distribution, comfortable ergonomics. Scope mounting and zeroing were painless, and the rifle and scope are ACCURATE; 1.0 - 1.5 inch groups are normal at 100 yds. The trigger action is remarkably smooth and is easily adjustable by anyone with mechanical skills. Recoil absorption is very good. Overall look and feel 8.0 out of 10

The scope mounting locations are the same as the Remington 700 and Weatherby Vanguard S2, making it easy to find scope rings, rails or adapters.

PROS -
Rifle -
*Adequate fit and finish, excellent, adjustable trigger action (check YouTube).
*The Hogue stock is very comfortable, and has good recoil absorption
*I load the magazine from the chamber, as the bottom "trap door" and magazine spring are exposed when loading from the bottom, and look like candidates for a Murphy's Law adventure that could damage them.
Scope -
*Nikko Sterling scope has more features than I expected.
*Good clarity, accurate, easy to zero, repeatable. Was surprised that the scope had AO and illumination

CONS- "You get what you pay for". Not really a negative, but don't expect a $3000 rifle for $500...
Rifle -
*Pillar bedding is appropriate for a rifle in this price range. I applied Loctite blue to both screws after the forward screw loosened.
*Bolt seats solidly but the eject/reload action is a bit sloppy and rough. Surely not a deal breaker, but noticeable
Scope -
*Capped turrets are not my preferred option.
*Durability TBD

BOTTOM LINE - an excellent economy rifle/scope combination that provides great bang for a small number of bucks. For the budget market, Howa hit a home run.
